WME Signs Actor and Content Creator Rickey Thompson (EXCLUSIVE)
Michaela Zee editor Internet personality Rickey Thompson has signed with WME for representation. The agency will represent Thompson in all areas, working to further develop Thompson’s businesses across brand partnerships, film, television and digital media. Thompson has amassed nearly 11 millions followers across Instagram, TikTok, YouTube and Twitter, as well as hosts his Spotify-exclusive podcast “We Said What We Said.” Known for his comedic monologues on social media, the multi-hyphenate rose to prominence on Vine, boasting 2.5 million followers before the app shut down in 2016. Thompson was featured on Variety’s Power of Young Hollywood impact list in 2020, a group that was feted alongside the 2021 and 2022 classes at a mega-celebration held last month in Los Angeles.
